         Hello, my name is Tabitha. I'm a wife, and a mother to four little girls, age 7, 6, and 3 year old twins. I currently live in Richmond,TX ; however, i'm originally from Henderson, TX. I currently attend Houston Baptist University, and i'm in my senior year with up coming graduation in May 2020 with my Bachelors in Science with the major of Elementary Education with ESL.
         This is my first time creating a bog and i'm quite nervous. This blogs' purpose is to serve as a reference for the summaries of 50 children's books for my children's literature class. I will also be able to refer back to this blog when i start teaching. With this blog, i'll be able to share my love for reading with my students and also encourage them to love reading. This is me!

It talks about them going all over the city, and the grandmother telling stories about how she grew up and where she lived. They would fly in the sky like birds and visit all the big cites, and see all of their family. They end their adventure with a boat ride, hand in hand. Teacher Evaluation: This is a book that I would have my ELLs help me with. Once I would get to the Spanish phrases, I would have them say it and I would repeat after them. Since I am teaching them English, they can teach me some Spanish.
